A rather boring Boxing Day lunchtime saw a bore draw of the most tedious kind. Chances were few and far between, although Town probably had the best of it over all.
The Blues lined up as they had in the previous game with the exception of Fabian Wilnis taking Mick Stockwell's place at right wing-back.
Early on the wind was preventing much decent football being played. Luckily for the Town fans on an open terrace the weather wasn't too severe.
Both sides had their chances with Town's best opportunities falling for David Johnson and Jamie Clapham in the first half and from Fabian Wilnis in the second. Both Clapham and Johnson mised the target when they should have done better whilst Wilnis pulled an excellent save from Maik Taylor in the Fulham goal.
No-one really deserves a mention as the game passed largely without incident (a few very poor refereeing decisions aside). Wayne Brown's passing lacked finesse whilst Fabian Wilnis and Jamie Clapham could do much better with their crossing. Clapham's corners were once again dreadful.
One best forgotten I'm afraid.
